Lucia is telling a little kid a story. Let's go listen to what she's saying.
(Idle)
Lucia: The Ethereal hidden deep in a Hollow...
Excited Kid: Uwaaahhh!
(Talk to Lucia)
Lucia: The Night Emissary's class is about to begin! Don't forget to raise your hand if you have any questions—
Lucia: Today's story is about a big fella who lives in a Hollow...
Excited Kid: Oh... The Hollows! I know those! Mom says they're super dangerous!
Lucia: ...Remember to raise your hand next time when you have a question.
Lucia: Sure, the Hollows are dangerous, but for our main character? They're nothing to sweat about...

Story Description: You listen to Lucia tell stories about Chestnut to the children. She's planning to prepare a special gift for Chestnut. If you meet her again, you should definetly proclaim to her how much you've missed her.


Lucia: ...Ahem, here goes!
Lucia: There's a kind of Ethereal that hides deep in the Hollows — huge teeth, razor-sharp claws, and its back is covered in spiny bones...
Lucia: Oh, and its nose is crazy good. It can sniff things out from miles away!
Excited Kid: Whoa! I get it! It's a huge, scary monster!
Lucia: Yep, once it catches a scent, you'll hear this snorting, dripping sound...
Excited Kid: Uwahhhh! Uwahhhh!
Suddenly, a voice interrupts the kid's excited chatter.
Stern parent: Sora, what are you doing?!
Excited Kid: M—Mommy... I—I'm just listening to the Night Emissary lady's story...
Stern parent: ...
Stern parent: How many times have I told you?! No strange stories, no talking to weird strangers! We're going home, now!
The kid is quickly taken away, and Lucia is left standing alone in the clearing.
After a few seconds of silence, she remains there and quietly continues the game alone.
Lucia: And now, that big monster is coming this way...
Lucia: Its chest puffed, its head high, like it wants to look its best...
Icon Dialogue Talk And it wags its tail gently.
Icon Dialogue Talk And it carefully begins to circle you.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍That Ethereal must be Chestnut, right?That Ethereal must be Chestnut, right? / I bet that Ethereal is Chestnut!I bet that Ethereal is Chestnut!‍) Tail wagging, approaching slowly, carefully circling while she watches you...
Lucia: Bingo. That's exactly how Chestnut acted the first time we met.
Lucia: I had just left my hometown and I didn't know anyone... I wandered into the Hollow alone at night, and that's when I saw Chestnut.
Lucia: She was lying there, far away from me, and I could tell she wasn't dangerous — just watching, seeing if she could come closer without scaring me.
Lucia: Chestnut is such a good little pup!
She really wants to help people and get praised, but... everyone's always afraid of her.
Lucia: So when she meets humans, she tucks her claws away and tries to look gentle...
Icon Dialogue Talk Chestnut sure is adorable.
Icon Dialogue Talk I also miss her...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Chestnut sure is cute, I miss her, too... Hope we get to meet again someday.
Lucia: ...
Lucia: Actually, after we said goodbye, I went back to the Hollow a few times, hoping I'd see her... but, she never showed up again.
Lucia: I should be happy, right? That means Chestnut listened to me and went to the deepest part of the Hollow, somewhere safe, where she can live and play.
Lucia: But still, I feel kinda sad...
Icon Dialogue Talk Chestnut is just that important to you.
Icon Dialogue Talk You care about Chestnut so deeply.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍It makes sense. You really, really care about Chestnut and want to be with her.It makes sense. You really, really care about Chestnut and want to be with her. / Chestnut is just that important to you. Of course you'll always wanna pet her paws, give her head-boops, and sit together with her...Chestnut is just that important to you.

(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍Even when your headEven when your head / Even if your brainEven if your brain‍) tells you that it's the right thing to let Chestnut go, (‍goodbyes are still painful. Your heart feels it...goodbyes are still painful. Your heart feels it... / your heart still feels heavy, right?your heart still feels heavy, right?‍)
Lucia: You're right... I get it now.
Lucia: When I first got here, I'd sneak into the Hollow at night. Watching Chestnut from afar made me feel like I wasn't alone...
Lucia: Now I've got all of Spook Shack, and I've got you... But Chestnut is still one of my best friends.
Lucia: "I'll continue to remember her, and keep telling her story to everyone...
As long as the memories and tales live on, I'll still feel her by my side — even if we can't meet again..."
Lucia: Hey... can you help me think of a gift to give Chestnut? In case we do meet again.
Lucia: That way, I can hang the gift around her neck and shout,
"I really, really love you, Chestnut! I missed you so, so much!"
Icon Dialogue Talk How about a chew stick made just for Hati?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): With a dog Chestnut's size... standard toys won't stand a chance! How about a chew stick made just for Hati?
Icon Dialogue Talk Or a frisbee made just for Ethereals?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): With a dog Chestnut's size... standard toys won't stand a chance! How about a frisbee made just for Ethereals?
Lucia: Just imagining it, I already know she'll love that gift...
Remember that pillow from last time? She loved that, too! Unfortunately, it didn't last very long.
Lucia: I'll head to Fluffy now and ask Miss Cairn to make a "Hati Toy Set" just for Chestnut!
